You ar right Mohammad its not idicator-multiload as such but its heavy usage of a api function that adds a icon img to the Unity panel. The indicator-multiload "applet" adds a new icon img every second without making sure the referece to to the img is really released. This may be a flaw in the api or a miss usage of the same. I have not looked at your scripts but maybe there is a way for you to take care of the "text" leak by unreference or clean up ref to it somehow?
